Description

Stibnite
China

China has produced some of the best Stibnite specimens in the world, and this exquisite example is no exception. With an unusual and compelling blue coloration, the elongated metallic terminations vary in height and direction but not quality as all of the crystals are in excellent condition. The striated sides of the vertical terminations add a further dimension to the aesthetic beauty of this significant specimen. With an amazing "gun-metal" coloration, this piece is substantially striking in color and form. This is a collector level specimen without question and is one of the nicer Stibnite specimens likely to be seen anywhere.
